NS / Erie Lackawanna SD45-2 | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

I like it!

From NS Facebook Page:

Norfolk Southern SD45-2 number 1700 poses outside the paint shop at DeButts Yard in Chattanooga, Tennessee, wearing its new, "old" paint scheme. The first of a thirteen unit order, 1700 was originally built as Erie Lackawanna number 3669, completed in October 1972, and has since worked as Conrail 6654 and NS 1700. Cab upgrades were recently completed at the NS East End Shop in Roanoke, Virginia, followed by paint in Chattanooga, returning it to its original colors. It will return to revenue service, joining the fleet of five additional 1700-series locomotives presently assigned to the Conrail Shared Assets region, based out of Oak Island, New Jersey.

Regards,

Swafford

Excellent! Hopefully we're closer to getting a SD45-2 in O gauge.
